Abstract
The relevance of this work is due to the fact that genomic and genetic information are special objects of research for law, and they require a systematic approach able to regard as many features of such information as possible. It seems that legal modeling is one of the key legal research methods capable of coping with this task. The purpose of this study is to consider the method of legal modeling in the study of genetic and genomic information. The paper outlines some aspects of its application, its advantages for interdisciplinary research. It has been established that legal modeling is able to regard all the factors influencing the legal regulation of genetic and genomic information. The staging of legal modeling, which implies determining the object and the subject of legal modeling, setting goals and objectives, proposing and testing a hypothesis and formulating a legal model, has been noted.
Highlights
Theoretical and legal research becomes relevant for systemic and complex social phenomena that go far beyond the boundaries of law
The specificity of social relations that develop in connection with genomic information, their significant social and economic significance, deep connection with ethics and natural human rights do not allow establishing an unambiguous legal regulation without a thorough consideration of all emerging problems and controversial situations
Summarizing the above, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. The social relations developing with regard to genomic and genetic information are complex structural relations, whose specificity must be reflected both in theoretical research in the field of law and in the legal regulation itself
Summary
Theoretical and legal research becomes relevant for systemic and complex social phenomena that go far beyond the boundaries of law. There is a significant increase in conducing legal research on genetics. Such legal research does not relate to any branch of law, their specificity presupposes an integrated systematic approach to solving emerging issues, which has actualized the interdisciplinary research. The legal regulation of genomic research is impeded by the complexity of this concept, which requires a systematic approach. The available research, as a rule, considers certain aspects, which leads to a multitude of viewpoints in the absence of common concepts and provisions; as well, there is lack of such unity in a situation when the term “genome” is used [1]
